**Paris Lilly** (0:30)
Hey, good morning, Blessing. How you doing?

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (0:32)
I'm doing good, Paris. Welcome back from Gamescom.

**Paris Lilly** (0:35)
Yeah, it was a great week in Germany at Gamescom. I brought the the the concred back with me, but I'm just gonna be able to power through it. But yeah, it was a fun week. Got to see a lot of games, got to play a lot of games, got to talk to a ton of people. And I had a bucket list moment that came out of nowhere. I got to meet and talk with Doug Cockle, who is the voice of Geralt of Rivia. Wow!
Literally the nicest person on Earth. That's so cool. Yeah, I legitimately told him, I go, this is a fan moment for me. And if I say something dumb right now, because I'm such a fan, I apologize in advance. But yeah, he was just the nicest guy in the world, being able to talk to him and hang out with him for just a little bit. But yeah, overall, great, great games. Carmen, I got to give props to Kinda Funny. So the night of the GTA reveal in Germany, it was like nine o'clock at night and we're at dinner and people are pulling out their phones, kind of trying to see what was going on. And I didn't watch it right away. I watched it later, like one o'clock in the morning. But that next day, so many people were referring back to everything that you guys were talking about during the reveal. Yeah, Kinda Funny got a lot of love the next day for that GTA reveal. And I went back and watched everything that you guys were talking about too. And yeah, just fantastic. Like I'm gonna say this.
I'm not the biggest Grand Theft Auto fan in the world. I know how big it is and how relevant it is. But after seeing that reveal and then hearing, you know, Greg and Andy talking about everything they got to see, I'm like, I think I'm on board.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (2:13)
Really?

**Paris Lilly** (2:13)
I think they got me. This game sounds absolutely incredible. So, you know, props to you guys for just doing such a fantastic job, you know, with that preview. And then secondarily again, props to Greg for the Blood of Dawnwalker review that he did yesterday. I was at Gamescom, so I was going to be on it, but I was going to be impossible that I was going to complete it in time. And I think his score was pretty spot on, pretty much how I felt about it as well. It's such a fantastic game. I mean, some jank, you know, that hopefully they'll get patched up here pretty quickly by the time it launches. But overall, I love it.
It's just a me kind of game. And I'll say this one last thing before we jump into the show.
I have to give love to an indie game that I got to see at Gamescom called Hello Sunshine.

**Greg Miller** (3:02)
Hello Sunshine.

**Paris Lilly** (3:03)
It came out of nowhere for me. I think they're talking potentially 2027 It's coming out. And here, here, let me give this synopsis.
It's the Iron Giant Survival Game, and the sun is trying to kill you.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (3:19)
Oh, wow. Okay.

**Paris Lilly** (3:20)
I'm telling you, if you see this in action, you will absolutely fall in love with it. And I just, I was just praising the devs the whole time during the demos. I cannot wait to get my hands on this game. So if you're looking for an indie sleeper hit out of Gamescom, check out Hello Sunshine.

**Blessing Adeoye Jr.** (3:37)
Kevin, if we can possibly get a, yeah, oh, he's already on it. Because I pulled it up on Steam. I love the art style of this. Yeah, this looks really cool. And yeah, like I see immediately the iron giant vibes that you're talking about, right? Like being the small character picked up by this huge robot looking creature. This looks really cool, Paris.

**Paris Lilly** (3:54)
Yeah, it really just seen the demo in action because legitimately the sun is trying to kill you. So you're constantly looking for shade. So the robot is kind of your guardian in a way, it's kind of helping you get from point to point. And then at night, you have to do like, because you're constantly scavenging for supplies and things like that. And then at night, you're trying to repair the robot. You got people trying to attack you. You got mystery. There's so much going on in this game that I'm like, wow, this is such a me kind of game. And like you said, the art style is fantastic.
